When it comes to recovering your deer, a lot of factors can play a major roll in how quickly you can tack them down. Sometimes, you may make the perfect shot and the deer doesn't even go 100 yards. Other times, you may make a bad shot, and you get thrown into a rodeo of a track job. You are on your blood trail and it suddenly stops, you may kick your deer up in the process of trailing, or you grid search the area and do not find him. Sometimes you just need that extra tool to track down your deer, man's best friend. In this episode we wanted to breakdown the topic of tracking dogs. We lay out the dos and don'ts of how to track, questions to ask a tracker, as well as for you new trackers, situations to look for in a track! We hit both perspectives to give you the best insight on what to look for in tracking down your deer with dogs!

We all love seeing our big bucks grow every year. We love seeing them on the hoof and on trail cameras during the season and in the summer. It's safe to say that a lot of deer hunters love to see an eight point buck. Now, there is some debate on whether or not that eight will always stay an eight point. This topic came to us in the comments, and we wanted to use our evidence to bust this myth. We discuss the debate of can eight point bucks become more than just an eight. but let us know what you guys think!

Lets face it, every hunter is always out chasing the biggest buck they can during hunting season. You spend all summer scouting, and checking trail cameras. You have your stands set and you are ready to rock. When that first cold front of the year comes in and rut is in full swing, it is game on! What happens when you don't see him as often, or see hardly any bucks for that matter, or any buck you do see already has a doe? What happens when all you see is does? Doe numbers have been incredibly high, and that can cause massive problems to your herd health. We broke down some questions sent in on doe management, and where a good number for buck to doe ratio should be. Every area is different , but still make sure you are getting doe tags and helping out your herd health!

Hunting is world of repetition, patience, and time. It is countless hours of preparation, that can be narrowed down to three months, to even just a matter of seconds. Within the amount of time we take for hunting and the successes we have, we can still make mistakes. Everyone can make a mistake that can prove to be crucial to harvesting your target buck. We wanted to tackle some of the major mistakes that we have all made, and even some minor ones we don't think about. From not shooting your bow enough and checking your equipment, to even cutting corners on how you enter the woods, everything can add up to losing valuable time on your buck. We want to hear from you guys if there were any errors we missed, or ones you have made that no one may consider.

As we inch closer and closer to deer season, we are checking cameras more, looking for velvet slobs, and checking for sign on properties. Most of the time while checking for sign, we are looking up. We are picturing where to put our tree stands to give us the best shot on that big buck. So that leaves the question, what are we looking for in the "perfect" tree to hang a stand in? We break this down from the angle of having both experiences hunting in stands and saddle sits, to give you guys the best knowledge we can. From checking thermals, to knowing how much cover you'll have during the rut, we wanted to cover as many scenarios as we can. Whether you want to be 12 feet up or 40 feet, always check your wind!
